I ordered my Epson R2880 about a month ago from Amazon, as a replacement for my exact faded Epson 2000P which was about seven years worn. My recent printer arrived very promptly a few days later. The Vista software installation went smoothly except for the fact that a couple of the amber "ink-empty" lights did not work properly, one never came on and one was flickering, like on and off. (These tiny lights are located in the ink well, they all (should) arrive "on" upon printer startup, then go "off", one by one, as each ink cartridge is inserted into the well.) The first couple of prints I made were not kindly, but I soon discovered that with this printer exhaust only Epson paper and be obvious to recall the particular type of paper on the conceal before commencing printing. I then printed several color and B/W sample prints, examined them under a loupe, and I must say they were tremendous. I was impressed with the quality.
Everything seems to hasten smoothly for the first week or so, although I noticed that the printer had a tendency to produce prolonged nozzle cleaning sessions. One session lasted between 6 and 7 minutes. That's when I started to sight at the ink levels charts. This printer is really using the ink I view. I then noticed broad random dots, about 3mm in diameter on some of my prints, sometimes only an hour after a original start-up nozzle cleaning session. My last printing endeavor on this printer - honest following a nozzle cleaning session - were eight 4x4" images where these dots showed up on five prints, some were in the margins and some true on the image itself.
Calling Epson was quite an experience. The person told me to simply do a nozzle trim. I told him I had unprejudiced done nozzle cleans, but he insisted and I did it. The first print out had the notorious 3mm dots on the paper and the print. Do the nozzle smart again, he said. At this point I confronted him with the demand of how distinguished ink a nozzle smart required because my ink indicators showed a decrease in ink level of about 15% with each cleaning. He had no acknowledge to that, or to any of my other questions, including the amber light seek information from.
I was now out of ink and had a lot of unwanted dots on many of the prints I had made. At this point I knew I would never feel comfortable using a state of inks priced at about $125. and only wind up with a handful of usable images. I returned the printer as I was level-headed within the 30 days grace period.
One last observation: It appears to me, after reading other reviews, that the ink/nozzle picotechnology is perhaps leisurely the curve of where it ought to be. In the quest for smaller and smaller picoliter dots, perhaps a different nozzle cleaning technology is required. At least, upscale future printers like this R2880 should have the ability to unbiased trim one (1) color nozzle at a time, as user required, instead of necessarily cleaning all eight colors at a cost I figure to be about $18. to $20. per cleaning session.

I am an artist who creates giclee prints of my paintings, and outmoded an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 for six years. It was a favorable printer which gave me high quality prints. The Epson Stylus Photo 2200 worked big from day one, and I never had to express with an Epson tech.
I purchased the Epson Stylus Photo R2880 as a replacement printer. It would not print 13" x 19" paper. I kept getting paper jams and error messages stating I was using the inferior media for the paper tray. I spent hours on the phone with Epson techs, who finally told me the printer had a outrageous paper sensor.
I returned the first Epson Stylus Photo R2880 and purchased a second printer. The second Epson Stylus Photo R2880 not only had the same problems, but it also gave me communication errors. I spent another hour on the phone with an Epson tech who refused to call me befriend as my calling card ran out of minutes.
In my understanding Epson has inadequate service techs, abominable customer service, and a bad quality product in the Epson Stylus Photo R2880. I gain this printer was never tested in a speed to acquire it to market. The only reason it even deserves one star is because it prints 8.5" x 11" sheets. Because my need is for a printer that prints 13" x 19" sheets, I cannot recommend this printer.
PS. Does anybody know where I can gain a refurbished Epson Stylus Photo 2200?
I bought this printer mainly because of additional feature of the CD/DVD tell printing, as my Epson R2400 does not have this capability. After completion of installation of the software, ink, etc., the printer went into what seemed like an extended cleaning mode. After printing one 7x5 image, the printed showed the photo murky ink approximately one-quarter left. The rest of the ink levels had dropped to almost one-half level. Two days later, I turned on the printer and the printer seemed to kick into another cleaning cycle, and an extended one at that! After the printer was in the cleaning cycle for approximately four minutes, I noticed the printer icon bouncing in the dock at the bottom of the computer camouflage. When I opened the software, it showed me that the photo murky ink was completely consumed and the printer wanted it replaced. I replaced the photo shadowy ink and after approximately two more minutes of printer interesting the head left and true, I was able to print. After printing a spacious total of eight 7x5 images, the rest of the inks were totally out! At this point, I made arrangements to have the printer replaced. Well, I got the modern printer and unfortunately, it has behaved the same as the first one. The only contrast being that all of the inks went down almost even as opposed to the photo dark ink going down first. After a total of two print sessions, all of the inks were consumed by the printer. For the whole area of inks, I managed to print ONLY TWO 2.5 rush x 1.4 scurry size images! Actually, I had to replace the light light gloomy ink along the plan. I searched the internet and found no complaints with this map. I have no view what is going on. All I can say is that this is not the case of user error as I have been using inkjet printers for a while (Canon S800, Epson 1270, Epson 2200, and Epson 2400) .
